Cities Coalition for Digital Rights (CC4DR)

The Digital Rights Governance Framework project, co-created and developed by the Cities Coalition for Digital Rights, UN-Habitat, Eurocities and UCLG, with support from Open Society Foundations aims to create common ground for city governance of human rights in the digital environment, as well as practically supporting cities to put in place the necessary mechanisms to make digital rights a reality. In this session, city-leaders will come together and discuss the impacts of a digital human rights approach.
